Kingston Milestones

Kingston my big boy, melts my heart everytime I see him taking steps to be independennt. I love to see it all happen but then I step back and say to myself that it needs to slow down, everything is happening way too fast. The latest milestone is Kingston's first day of playschool. Its nearly two hours of free play with songs, storytime, and group play in between. The first day I couldn't take him away from the trains and block station. All the kids kind of did their own thing.
Here's a picture of Kingston's first ever fat lip. He fell down while playing with daddy. Can you believe it, it took him 20 months to get a fat lip. I'm sure there's going to be more of those, you know how boys get. This summer although, was nice, we only had a few 80-90 degree weather, so we had to let him use this very cheap kiddie pool before summer ended. This day was pretty warm, I think 85 degrees. He had a blast, as you can tell by his face. Lastly, his hand me down big boy bed, which he won't use until after his 2nd birthday in January. I just had to pull it out and let him try it out. I think he likes it, bought him animal print sheets to match all the deco and accessories in his bedroom.

Beach Time

For our 3rd year wedding anniversary Ned and I had brunch at Salty's on Redondo Beach. It was the best brunch ever. The weather was beautiful and we had a view of the beach. We had alone time for 3 hours. The sun was out and we started seeing families at the park, walking at the pier, and playing in the sand. So instead of enjoying alone time we decided to go home and pick up the boys and Red and just have a day at the beach.

I know we're crazy. Perfect chance to be alone but we go ahead a ruin it by picking up the boys. Plus my sister hardly offers to watch the boys so we should have taken advantage but most of our conversation was about how far we've come and how our family has grown just made us miss the boys and picking them up to enjoy the weather with us just felt right. This was Davin's first trip to the beach. Kingston's first time on the sand since he learned to walk. We live in Seattle so beach trips are rare.
The following weekend we met up with Casault grandparents at Seahurst beach park. Kingston had a blast playing in the sand with me and grandpa Rick.

July, August, and now September


I have no idea where summer went, but its officially gone. Actually, forget summer, more than half of 2010 is gone. I've been gone from my blog for a minute too. Well let me give you the updates on my boys.

Kingston will be 20 months this month. Its crazy how fast everything is going. In May, I signed him up in a co-op preschool in Burien. He starts next week. Its really a playschool. Kids from 1 year to 2 years in one room for three hours. One parent will be with their child the whole time so its really a playgroup but in a classroom atmosphere. I've met some of the moms already. Most of the moms have 2 or more kids a few years apart, either part-time or stay at home moms. It should be interesting.

Davin will be 5 months this month. We had our 4 month appointment. Currently, Davin is 11.10lbs and 24 inches. He's a little baby but strong. He's rolling over, kicking a lot, and reaching for things. Davin is a sweet little baby. My youngest boy loves to cuddle and be held. I can't wait to see how much more he'll grow and develop.
I think that I mentioned the Ned has started a new job with Pacific Rail and he loves it. He gets a lot of OT which is helping him catch up for the 2 months he was just working on Gary's car.
As for me, I'll be going back to school either this quarter (wait listed) or winter quarter. I'll be going back to work the end of the month but only limited part-time. Yahoo!!!! 2 days a week but full 8 hours shifts. I don't care though, I get more time with my boys.
My life is getting busier and busier but I'll always try and update when I can. I guess thats a life of a mother and a wife.
